Sopranos Actor Joe Pantoliano Dines With Filmmaker Daughter In Hoboken

HOBOKEN, NJ — Actor Joe Pantoliano grew up in Hoboken in the 1950s and is sometimes still spotted around town. On Thursday night, he shared what he ordered at a local Italian restaurant with daughter Daniella — the co-host of his podcast on mental health.

The pair ate at the low-key Augustino's on Washington Street, which has attracted other celebs, including a group from the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" who celebrated Albie Manzo's engagement there.

Pantoliano, who starred in many films and as Ralphie Cifaretto on "The Sopranos," wrote on Instagram on Thursday, "Dinner with Daniella @augustinosrestaurant always great! @daniella.pantoliano we got lasagna for IzzI @izzepantz"

He was referring to actress daughter Isabella Pantoliano, who calls herself as a "Hoboken gal" on Instagram.

Raising Awareness About Mental Health

During 2021, Daniella Pantoliano, who is in her thirties, co-hosted a podcast with her dad about mental illness, called, "No Kidding, Me Too." Pantoliano also runs an organization by that name, dedicated to raising awareness about mental health.

In 2006, he directed and starred in the film "Canvas," about a mother who wrestles with mental health issues as her husband and young son try to help. (For those seeking a local group, NAMI Hudson County holds meetings and programs.)

Pantoliano had posted photos of himself dining out in Hoboken in 2020, including stopping by the "Joey No Nuts" nut-free coffee shop. READ MORE: 'Joey Pants' Gets Cup Of Joe
